Reviews
Owners
Artem, 30 years old, Yaroslavl:
“When our Great Dane was given the required vaccinations as a puppy, after the next one we saw that the dog was limping. Soon the animal stopped moving around the apartment and lay all the time with its limbs tucked in. To clarify the situation, we took an x-ray - our dog’s cartilage began to peel off in his knee joint.
Whether the cause was a failed vaccination or a coincidence, the problem that arose required treatment. Among other medications, the veterinarian prescribed Chondartron for the dog. Then we encountered Chondartron for the first time (there were no animals in the house before).
At first they gave injections for 21 days, then they switched to tablet form. The dog began to return to normal on the fifth day after the start of treatment. "Chondartron is now in our home veterinary medicine cabinet."
Anna, 37 years old, Volgograd:
“Our favorite guard Cane Corso breed has been living in our house for several years now. But six months ago we saw that the dog was moving poorly, limping, and constantly lying at home. As a result of the examination, we were diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia of the hip joint.
Treatment took about 14 days. The dog recovered, but continued to limp. Hondartron came to the rescue. The injections were given within a month, and the dog stopped limping completely.”
Oleg, 40 years old, Vitebsk:
“I am the owner of a large German Shepherd. The dog always behaves actively, but at some point the animal stopped running during walks, began to step on its limbs with caution and began limping.
I decided that she had twisted her paw, but an examination at the clinic showed a violation of the development of the hip joint. After completing the recommended course of therapy, the animal’s condition practically did not improve.
I started looking for information about my problem on the forums and found out about Hondatron. I couldn’t buy such a medicine in Belarus, so I ordered it from an online store. I studied the treatment regimen and carried out the therapy according to all the rules; The lameness has completely disappeared."
Vet
Marina, 32 years old, veterinarian, Volgograd:
“Despite the fact that Chondartron is a homeopathic remedy, its effectiveness has been proven by clinical studies and experience. I often recommend this drug when diagnosing pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.
Animals react normally to this remedy. After a course of therapy, positive dynamics are observed. I often combine the drug with other medications.”
Types of joint diseases in dogs
Joint diseases are a pathology characteristic of large breeds of dogs.
The causes of the disease are:
- mechanical damage leading to dislocations and stretch marks;
- congenital disorders of the musculoskeletal system;
- excessive amounts of physical activity;
- excess weight, which increases the load on the joints;
- injuries, deep wounds, bruises;
- diseases of bacterial and viral etiology;
- genetic predisposition;
- parasitic diseases;
- prolonged exposure to low temperatures.
The disease primarily affects the hip and knee joints. The shoulder suffers less often.
The most common musculoskeletal diseases in veterinary medicine include:
- arthritis;
- arthrosis;
- synovitis;
- myositis;
- bursitis.
Their symptoms are similar and include:
- decrease in physical activity (refusal from walking and playing);
- the appearance of pain causing constant discomfort;
- temperature jump;
- presence of swelling and lameness;
- lethargic state;
- decreased or complete absence of appetite, increased thirst.
Symptomatic therapy, including the use of chondroprotectors, is used as treatment. This group of drugs can reduce inflammation and normalize the function of damaged joints by stimulating the synthesis of cartilage tissue.
Despite their high effectiveness, the drugs can cause allergic reactions, which leads to the formation of bald spots in dogs suffering from intolerance to the incoming components.
Let's look at the main diseases in more detail.
